Soggy sunday sewing

for those of you who live far away, there are actually two marylands...divided by the west virginia panhandle....the eastern side gets rain and floods, the western side gets the snow.  sunday, for us, was wet and gloomy--outside.  inside, miss sunny sewing machine was whirring...to finish this flimsy.  and with careful cutting, did get all the sashing out of the scrap, now gone.  all but a few strips of the cheddar was used up as well.  next....

these two stitcheries got done a while ago but not finished until yesterday.   the big one, pin cushion size of maryland, is a gift.  the other goes in my display duck with other stuffies.  

our senior center quilty group had their little party friday and gifts were swapped.  i got this terrific item, a kitchen buddy!  hangs over the neck with towels on either end for handy hand wiping...plus a joann gift card that'll go for batting/backing for the wedding quilt and a few needed notions.  some of my pins were sacrificed fixing the jacket.  

also sunday a major frankenbatt session for the 'advent sky' top.  took several small pieces but mission accomplished AND they are gone from the stash.  pulled this piece for the back and it's just the right size--another piece gone and now it can get basted.  it's a 2024 UFO.

joined up with corinne et cecile for their annual sew along, starting january.  it's only 16 blocks--i've participated before--so pulled fabrics for that sunday as well.  shaping up to be a busy winter, especially squeezing in 6 weeks of PT that has already garnered improvement in mobility.  now that most holidays events over, can turn my attention to some needed house chores.  as anticipated, i'll be home by myself on Christmas so i've got a plan for the day that doesn't include cleaning...or laundry...and it might even be a pajama day too....LOL!
